[Opening sequence and theme song.]
[Open on a bright, New York City skyline. Pan down to the Turtle Lair, where three of the Turtles are watching television. Michelangelo, wearing a trenchcoat, arrives.]
Michelangelo "Check it out, amigos. The latest issue of “Alien Invaders.”"
Raphael "Yeah, that's wonderful news. Now, can we watch “Cube of Misfortune” in peace, please?"
[On the show, a woman lifts a giant cube with the letter “M” emblazoned on it and throws it at a man, knocking him down.]
Donatello "He got hit with an "M"!"
Leonardo "Oh, don't take it! Go for a vowel!"
Michelangelo "By the way, I saw our little bud Zach at the comic book store."
Donatello "Zach? We haven't seen him in a while. What's he doing?"
Michelangelo "Same as me, reading “Alien Invaders” comics."
[Cut to Zach as he walks along the sidewalk with his face buried in a comic. He crosses the street without looking and a truck screeches to a stop to avoid hitting him.]
Zach "Wow!
This is the best issue
of Alien Invaders yet! “Invasion of the Bug-Eyed Terminators.” Awesome! What?
Oh, no! It's the bug-eyed terminators. They're here.
I gotta warn somebody."
[Tires screeching as a taxi stops quickly to avoid hitting him.]
This is the best issue
[The taxi driver shouts at him.]
of Alien Invaders yet! “Invasion of the Bug-Eyed Terminators.” Awesome! What?
[He stops to look at something in an alley and sees four men in body suits.]
Oh, no! It's the bug-eyed terminators. They're here.
[He runs to a pay phone.]
I gotta warn somebody."
[The phone in the police precinct rings. An officer, who is reading the comic, answers.]
O'Flaherty "Police precinct. Sergeant O'Flaherty speaking."
Zach "The bug-eyed terminators have landed! They've invaded a building at the corner of 5th and Robertson!"
[The startled sergeant falls backwards in his chair.]
O’Flaherty "The terminators? We're on our way, me boy. And you stay away from them.
Attention all units in the area of 5th and Robertson. An alleged invasion of aliens has been reported in the vicinity."
[He grabs a microphone.]
Attention all units in the area of 5th and Robertson. An alleged invasion of aliens has been reported in the vicinity."
[April and Irma are driving through the city in the Channel 6 newsvan.]
April O'Neil "Bug-eyed aliens? Sounds pretty silly to me."
Irma Langenstein "Not to me. You should have seen my date last night."
April "Let's check it out, anyway. There may be a story."
[She steps on the gas and zips around a corner. Meanwhile, a police car comes to a screeching stop in front of the pay phone. Sirens wailing, another stops across the street. Zach points.]
Zach "The aliens are in there!"
